Anybody know this delectable work?

Oh, yes. About 30 years ago I bought the EMI recording with Malcolm Sargent leading the Royal Philharmonic and have enjoyed it ever since.
Another work/composer that's gone out of fashion?
Some of his works have stayed in the repertoire; it's a relative thing, no pun intended. (Wikipedia lists almost a dozen recordings just of this work over the years; I was unaware of most of them.)
Dohnany's Suite has been a favorite work since my introduction to it in the Sargent recording. It has some modern recordings, but like the Goldmark Rustic Wedding Symphony has been unfairly neglected this century.
I think the only way this lovely, melodious piece will be resurrected now, would be as a Neeme Jarvi Chandos recording. He seems to be the last great conductor to want to rescue long forgotten works in recordings.
By the way, there was a Milton Katims Seattle Symphony recording from the early 1950's.
Yes, the Sargent EMI recording is a long-time favourite. Many years ago, performances of the Suite used to occasionally pop up on BBC Radio 3, but I think more attention was paid to the Nursery Variations, Both seem to have faded into obscurity during the intervening fifty years or so.
